Approved

O jardim do MNAA, tem a geografia perfeita para recriar em Lisboa, a casa, no cimo da colina, com vista para o porto Nagasaki que acolhe Cio-cio San e o amor trágico entre a jovem gueixa japonesa  e um tenente americano da marinha mercante Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton.
Desde o início da história que a tragédia é iminente,  nem a sua fiel serva Suzuki, ou o cônsule americano Sharpless, nem mesmo o intrépido casamenteiro Goro que a precita na desgraça mas tenta mais tarde remediar a situação, demovem a fé de Cio-cio San no amor de Pinkerton. O público confidente segue a metamorfose de Butterfly -  de jovem japonesa ingénua para heroína trágica, tomando nas mãos o seu destino.
Uma das óperas mais emocionantes de sempre pelo mestre da emoção Giacomo Puccini (1904), com uma partitura repleta de motivos japoneses e orientais e música sublime.

português

The Garden of the National Museum for Ancient Art has the perfect geography to recreate in Lisbon, the little house, on the top of the hill, with view to Nagasaki Port, in which tragic love between young Japanese geisha Cio-cio San and the lieutenant of the American navy, Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton, takes place.
From the beginning of this story, tragedy is eminent. Not her faithful servant Suzuki, nor the American consul Sharpless, nor even Goro, the heartless marriage broker, who first architects this felony and later on, tries to help her out of it -  all efforts are helpless to move away relentless faith of Butterfly in Pinkerton’s love. The audience confident follows Butterfly’s metamorphosis from young innocent girl to tragic heroin, taking her destiny in her own hands.
One of the most moving operas of all time, composed by master of emotion Giacomo Puccini (1904), with a score filled with Japanese and oriental inspired themes and sublime music.
